I was perusing Twitter stumbled across this.

If you need help in breaking down that video, that's rapper Travis Scott with a roller coaster on-stage. Cool right?

Wrong!

Unless you think plagiarism is cool!

I present to you the one and only Tommy Lee on HIS roller coaster.
Yup. Mr. Lee was the originator of onstage roller coasters and I'll be damned if he doesn't get credit for this.

I can leave with some level of injustice but this I can;t tolerate look at this statement from Travis Scott's people:

Please tell me who came up with AND executed this idea then. I don;t want someone saying that they drew a picture of a roller coaster on a stage and want credit the way that hack Da Vinci used to.

I intend to keep my finger on the pulse of what is likely to become the biggest copyright lawsuit of the century and will keep you updated right here.

I'm Matt Reigle, covering the important stories.

The United States Surgeon General has announced that teenagers vaping has become a full on epidemic. First of all, we're using the word "epidemic" a little liberally. Polio was an epidemic. In this humble podcaster's/blogger's/amateur archaeologist's opinion, a bunch of 16-year olds cranking some Mango Juul pods does not an epidemic make. Is it a problem? Sure it is, but we as a society let it get this way because we sounded the alarm that vaping is bad for you.

Telling them that vaping is bad. This happens with everything, with booze and cigarettes being prime examples. If something is deemed bad and dangerous, it becomes cool. So let's make it uncool, by having adults tell them it's awesome. I want every parent out there to start taking up vaping. If y...

I Spent My Weekend Figuring Out Why Jack The Ripper Stopped Killing; How'd you Spend Yours?

The identity of Jack The Ripper is one of history's great mysteries. A monster who stalked and viciously killed women in London's Whitechapel district taking six victims in the late 1880s then managed to elude capture. It's a case that will likely remain unsolved entirely, but I think I may have cracked another important aspect of the case: why did he*  stop killing. *(I say he, but there are some pretty compelling arguments into the crimes having been committed by a woman posing as a nurse, The key to that argument is she could have posed as a mid-wife which would have allowed her to walk around Victorian England in bloody clothes without raising suspicion.) Jack The Ripper wrote a series of letters to Scotland Yard in which he taunted authorities. I was reading a book that featured one of the letters — the famous "From Hell" letter, the killer's final letter — when something hit me. Here, read it for yourself: From hell. Mr Lusk, Sor I send you half the Kidn...
